It is used to refer to a situation that would seem ethically wrong or improper.
An example would be like this:
You are a defense attorney and find yourself riding in the courthouse elevator with a prospective juror from your current case.
Do you:
1. Get off at the next floor.
2. Ride all the way to the courtroom floor with the prospective juror.
Answer 2 could look improper to anyone that saw you exiting the elevator with the prospective juror, and might lead to a mistrial if that juror was selected and later was in favor of acquittal.

The appearance of impropriety is literally anything that would cast doubt on the fairness and objectivity of the proceeding, case, issue, etc. For example: if a judge in a jury trial is seen schmoozing in the hallway with a juror, while this could be innocent, it could give the appearance of impropriety. The possibilities for appearance of impropriety are endless!

Blue Steel is right...i would just add that the appearance of impropriety often covers situations where there's no ACTUAL funny business involved, but where an onlooker might see the circumstances and suspect a judge or lawyer is biased or dishonest.

I even have individually experienced a non secular 'channeling' that i could no longer rationally clarify. on the grounds that our religious 'self', know-how, or soul, is metaphysical in nature, and inexplicable by potential of accepted theory in this actual airplane, there are various 'dimensional' opportunities, one in all that are stated as "previous existence". besides the undeniable fact that, all of us know SO little approximately God's time, area, and dimensions, that the superb we are able to do is experience that our know-how could be eternal in some way. And, that it could go beyond area and time, whilst our minds launch further and further of this actual airplane. residing right here and now with in basic terms what we DO have and working to realize peace among our 'relatives', is one in all those super undertaking because it somewhat is, that "religious hypothesis" is in basic terms a desirable previous time for now. Can every person EVER bear in mind "no longer BEING"?????

That it appears to be unfair or unjust. It doesn't treat all cases and situations equally.
